Radar: satellites and telcos
Coming to a place above you
The headline-grabbing inclusion of satellite connectivity in Apple’s iPhone 14 in 2022 made one thing clear: momentum in telco-satellite convergence is seeing a shift from pilots to commercial progress. This has continued in 2023, reflecting growing ecosystem maturity, and pragmatism among operators of the value of satellite in bridging coverage gaps while targeting new revenue streams from consumer and IoT use cases.
This research explores the competitive landscape, potential revenue uplift available to telcos and satellite operators, the resurgence of direct to device (D2D), and potential standards pathways (and risks) for non-terrestrial networks as part of 3GPP.

Satellite and NTN tracker, Q4 2025
Satellite constellation volume ramped up in H2 2025, in preparation for phased commercial launches in 2026. The focus continues to be on direct-to-device (D2D). Starlink has deployed almost 80% of its initial 12,000-strong constellation. Amazon and AST SpaceMobile are among the chasing pack. Both have big aspirations for their constellations but have different motivations.
